Musicians react to Parkland Florida shootings with demand for better gun control

I hope everyone will read the powerful Jeniffer Wright piece in HarpersBazaar about toxic masculinity HERE.

Various musicians from across genres have spoken out for more sane gun legislation and the NRA out of politician’s pockets in the wake of the ghastly Parkland massacre. Here are a few sample tweets below.

When is it enough? How many children dead before the value of human life is worth more than our obsession with convenient gun ownership?

Legalize every drug. Reinvest the majority of funds allotted to the drug war into treatment and education. Use any funds left over to set up a nationwide gun buy-back program, simultaneously outlawing the sale of firearms to civilians. Ban the fucking things outright after a year

90% of high school or elementary school shootings were the result of White, often upper-middle class men. These are the consequences that occur when groups like the @NRA control influential conservative leaders #FloridaShooting#AnotherOne#TimeForChange

"maybe we should give guns to teachers""we should also give guns to the students too""yeah and have armed cops in every school""agreed give those custodians some fucken rifles""maybe we should just ban guns?""YOU SOUND LIKE A FUCKING CRAZY PERSON"

Band Spotlight

Ohio's Bes are a calamitous racket of alt-rock infused heavy sounds and have recently released the very worth your time Pieces Missing EP. Fans of Torche, Failure or even some KEN Mode will find stuff to latch on to here. I don't know how intentional it was but I hear a lot of late nineties influence in some of what this band is doing, but paired with an even more aggressive edge befitting our times.
Recommended Track: "Lost It All".
